spotting or period?

Emilee

i should be getting my period on the 11th and today i noticed i had cramps then dark brown chunks came out (sorry for the detail!) and ive put a tampon in etc and still only crown chunks & a very small amount of pinkish/red blood has come out. usually my flow is heavy right away but this is really light. also i have had 0 of my normal symptoms besides the cramping. spotting or period?
